    In this episode, we're joined by our friend Abby Newkirk, a Chi Alpha missionary serving at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey. Abby shares her journey of following God's call—one that includes a cross-country move, deep relational roots, and a few surprising connections (including her college roommate Megan and a pivotal conversation with Stephen that helped point her toward Rowan!). Her story is a beautiful reminder that God's plans often unfold through a series of faithful, everyday yeses.Together, we talk about what it means to say “yes” to God—not just in the big, dramatic moments, but in the small daily choices that shape our obedience and sharpen our ability to hear His voice. If you've ever wondered how to discern God's direction or if you're in a season of waiting and wondering, this conversation will encourage you to lean in, listen closely, and trust that God is speaking—even in the ordinary.Connect with Abby on Instagram Follow Going Somewhere Podcast on InstagramAsk a Question or Suggest a Guest | goingsomewherepod.comSubscribe to us on YoutubePodcast Music: Electric Ten by Broke in SummerGoing Somewhere is a resource of Northview ChurchStephen's Instagram & Website

    The 2024 Presidential Election is upon us. An election year stirs up all sorts of emotions and reactions; including fear, anger, annoyance, excitement, and indifference. The question is: How should a Christian navigate an election? What is our responsibility? What are we called to do? How are we supposed to behave towards those we disagree with? These are all the questions that surface during an election. In this episode, we discuss the Christian's call to PRAY. We will share 10 Strategic Prayers to Pray Over the Election. The reality is, although we can play a role in the outcome of an election, we cannot control the results or the aftermath. We must remember that regardless of who is in the White House, God is on his throne. We must remain focused on our mission to share the GOOD NEWS with everyone - even those we disagree with. We  must allow God to guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, not allowing the election results or the cultural conversation to lead us into fear, anxiety, anger, hate, or doubt.
